Breckenridge Vacation

September 16-24 me and my honey took a trip out to Breckenridge, CO to enjoy the sites and take in a Ray LaMontagne concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. It was an amazing trip, perfectly timed with the changing of the seasons (as you’ll see below) — we even got to experience the first snow of the season!

: We arrived at 11:53 CST (2am for us) and 35 degrees. It had been 90+ when we left

: We used AirBnB to rent the second floor unit (right on main st!)

: The amazing artwork in our room

: As we went in search of food on the night of our arrival, I spied an Xmas shop

: Our ride for the week was this Ford C-Max. It was a fun vehicle to drive, but took some getting used to the brakes

: Neat sculpture in front of a new condo-plex at the end of the main strip in Breckenridge

: UFO overhead, totally not my finger

: One thing I noticed in this city is that nearly everybody appears to be in shape…except…for me that is

: Yep, that’s a head shop in Breckenridge

: The view from said head shop

: When the horses retire, they are moved to the other cart

: I spent more money than I probably should have here….

: At the south end of the main strip, looking north

: On the west side of the strip, looking east

: View of Breckenridge heading up to Peak 7/8

: Placard from where I was standing in the previous photo

: Somewhere between South Park and Morrison, CO

: Homes perched over the Dillon Reservoir

: First stop light in town, looking west

: ermagerd…we have to walk how far to the Amphitheatre??

: Still walking…

: Sitting for a moment before continuing our 2-3 mile hike…

: Approaching Central City

: Neat view in Central City

: Central City

: Yet another dispensary

: We decided to take a look at a cabin for sale in Blackhawk, CO

: Inside of the cabin

: Brewery in Denver

: View from the parking garage in Denver….in case we forgot where we were =)

: Union Station from afar

: Inside of Union Station
